About the Author

Since the publication of Once Upon a Wedding in hardcover, I've received lots of letters filled with wonderful wedding anecdotes from new brides and mothers ofthe bride. Most of them want to know just how much of my own daughter's wedding found its way into this book.

Here's the scoop: The devil is in the details. Yes, I said, "Don't spend a lot on a wedding. Put the money toward a house." Yes, I'm cheap. Yes, I'm addicted to E-Bay, and yes, I'm way too hands-on, love to do the craft projects myself -- which doesn't save a penny, but what a sense of satisfaction it gave me. And, yes, my dear friends and in-laws saved the wedding with their late-night stitching in time. Oh, and yes, I did hitch a ride to the church on the bakery truck.

Kathleen Eagle and her husband of thirty-two years make their home in Minnesota. Write to her c/o

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Miss This One! Oct 31 2001
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Another wonderful American Indian novel by Kathleen Eagle which co-mingles two stories, past and present, into one unforgettable book. Cecily, a kind, young and guileless young woman becomes inextricably drawn into the American Indian movement of the '70's when she befriends a courageous young Indian woman and her world-weary but oh-so-irresistable brother, Kiah.

Cecily acquires a 100-year-old traveling trunk at an auction which contains some artifacts and writings of Priscilla Twiss, daughter of a White Indian Agent sent to educate the "savage" Sioux. Priscilla, drawn to the Sioux, comes to visit her father in the rugged, untamed west, and there she meets and falls in love with the proud warrier, Whirlwind Rider.

Both couples, though a century apart, share similar obstacles of restrictive social mores, racial hatred, and tumultuous circumstances in American Indian history, not to mention a suprising revelation which ties past to present.

Highly recommended reading for unforgettable romance, gripping storytelling, and fascinating American Indian History.

I lucked out and found this book before it went out of print. If you have access to a used bookstore, look for this title; it is one of the best stories I have ever read. Told alternately in the 19th and the 20th century, and spanning several decades, it is a tale of four lovers - two White, two Native American - who cross the boundaries of their respective cultures and give up what is comfortable in order to commit to one another for all their lives. Powerfully sensual, mysterious and somewhat sweetly painful and disturbing (particularly the 19th century story), be prepared to shed some tears if you find this book. Keep it, it can be reread and seen new each time. I've read as many of Ms. Eagle's books as I've been able to locate, and I think that this is by far her best work.

The old story is soooooooo moving , he promised to love and protect her and she gave everything up for him , their love was so pure ........ and the modern one is great ( as usual men are trying to be tough and stronge and love doesn't affect them ) but she made it true , she was able to move his feelings i think if u didn't read it , u missed a very beautiful two love stories
